To serve in community kitchen, people from approximately 70 villages in the area come on their own vehicles. They perform all the activities of preparing food, serving it and ensuring cleanliness etc with complete devotion, diligence and enthusiasm. For preparation of “Kheer”(rice pudding) in the community kitchen, collection of milk and other supplies is done from the villages turn by turn, which comes once in every week.

Afforestation Project (Environment Cleaning Project)

A very large and ambitious project of tree plantation has been taken in had by Kaar Sewa Dera Khadur Sahib. The main object of this project is to maintain the natural beauty of surrounding area and to keep it green, clean, beautiful and pollution free. Under this project, on both sides of the five roads leading to Khadur Sahib, along with other areas of Punjab and other States, like M.P. and Rajasthan, different varieties of shady and fruit bearing plants have been planted, making a total stretch of approximately 130 kms. In Punjab only. For the protection and safety of these plants, iron-made tree-guard have also been installed. Besides this, 500 “Bohar”(Banyan) and 500 “Pippal” trees have been planted. These traditional trees will not only provide shelter to the birds, but by producing enough quantity of Oxygen, make the human life more comfortable and livable.

Target of 500 acre land for plantation of different horticultural varieties was fixed for Khadur Sahib and its peripheral area. It is pleasurable to add here that the target is near to completion. For watering of these plants, ten big tanks along with 25-30 permanent “Sewadaars” doing their work with dedicational care have been put on duty. We should realize the significance of trees and by doing new plantation, along with responsibility of their maintenance, should also contribute in the vital project of savior of human race.
